The Counselling and Personal Development Service is a professional, confidential and free service, which is available to all registered undergraduate and postgraduate DCU students.

The service provides one-to-one counselling and specialist input on a wide range of personal, academic, family, social, psychological and mental health issues that hinder a student’s academic performance in a non-judgmental and open manner.This includes support and help at time of immediate crisis.

The service also provides a range of on-line wellbeing, resilience and mental health advice and information including bibliotherapy which is quality self-help reading for psychological health. In addition the service offers a mindfulness based stress reduction lunchtime series and a student empowerment and life skills programme.

The Counselling and Personal Development Service is staffed by qualified and experienced counselling psychologists/psychotherapists and psychotherapist at an advanced stage in their training. We advise if you have a difficulty, don’t sit on it, do something about it sooner rather than later.
